How does the plate tectonics theory help explain the existence of fossilized marine life in rocks atop the Ural Mountains? Be sure to include a description of the specific process(es).’ Continental Collisions would be a possibility as this would birth mountain building. It is a theory that Europe and Asia collided millions of years ago. Marine life would have existed in the ocean basin between the land masses. As the continents approached‚ waters would recede from between them through subduction

Chapter One The theory of plate tectonics explains how forces within the planet create landforms. This theory views Earth’s crust as divided into more than a dozen‚ rigid‚ slow-moving plates. Some plates are as large as a quarter of the planet‚ but others are only a few hundred miles across. The plates slowly move across the upper mantle‚ usually less than an inch per year. Scientists use the theory of plate tectonics to explain the long history of Earth’s surface. They believe that about a few

boundaries by which an oceanic plate slides slowly under a continental plate into the Earth’s mantle‚ as the result of pressure and friction. After a long period of time the overriding continental plate is lifted up creating a mountain range. This is how the Himalayas were formed. Sometimes the extreme heat and pressure exerted on the subducting oceanic plate causes an uplift of magma from the mantle which rises above the surface‚ creating a volcano. When two plates are moving they don’t always slide

11/20/13 Earth Space Science Plate Tectonics Theory Plate tectonics is the theory that the outer rigid layer of the earth is divided into a couple of dozen plates that move around across the earth’s surface relative to each other‚ like slabs of ice on a lake. Plate Tectonics is cause by convection currents in the mantle of the Earth. This theory was originally called continental drift. The theory of “Pangea” that is the continents were connected was Alfred Wegener. The age of the sea floor is

Earth: Earth’s tectonic plates (or plates which float separately and independently of the hotter mantle which sits below them) are categorized into three major categories‚ these being: Primary (Major)‚ Secondary (Minor) and Tertiary (or‚ micro-plates.) The seven major (or‚ any plates which range over at least 10 million kilometers) plates are: African plate‚ Antarctic plate‚ Eurasian plate‚ Indo-Australian plate‚ North American plate‚ Pacific plate and South American plate. These are also the

A plate tectonic is defined as a solid rock mass that builds up the Earth’s surface. The plate tectonic theory is a theory that geologists use to help explain the surface processes and events. The word plate means large pieces of the earth that are always in motion‚ lithosphere plates. Tectonics means how the continents formed and move over time. This is the theory that most geologists accept as to what happened to our continents. It states that Earth is made up of two layers‚ the lithosphere
